RedShift BioAnalytics has developed a powerful new infrared spectroscopy tool for protein structural analysis based on Microfluidic Modulation Spectroscopy (MMS). This technology achieves significant increases in sensitivity, dynamic range, and accuracy for determination of protein secondary structure relative to conventional mid-IR and farUV CD techniques. The analyzer utilizes a tunable mid-IR quantum cascade laser to generate an optical signal 1000X brighter than the conventional sources used in FTIR spectroscopy. Brighter sources also allow the use of simpler detectors without the need for liquid nitrogen cooling.
